Rollover thread

I was 24 weeks here. Looking back I was bigger at 22 weeks. I guess maybe he moves position and that would effect the shape.

Foot - what you had sounds like vertigo?

Ha loving the bumps ladies! We will join you all soon

Yes few people say it could be vertigo. Feeling much better now.
Slight tummy ache at the mo.. Ovulation pending I hope. DH came home early before the boys so got in the deed before he was tired! Then he went back to work and left me with my legs up in the air. Think my legs have a bit of vertigo now

Everyone keeps saying I am very neat and I am now panicking it's not growing properly!!
I am between 5'9-5'10 so hoping there is just lots of room! Bump also looks way bigger on a night than during the day. But I guess that's just bloat?!

Ps don't panic, this is your first right? And you are slim anyway. What's your Due date again?

I was all bump with my first and my second I was huge! You look fine ps!

Hi Jodders, yes it's my first. I'm due 13th March xx

Getting bump envy...? How odd!! I swear I'm at least as big ps and I'm not even pregnant!!!

4 dpo. Wine o'clock! Submitted my resignation. They have now said I have to serve 6 months notice because they will struggle to replace me. So the next few months are going to be a bit bumpy... Oh dear!! So might lose the new job! Have to ring the new employer tomorrow - I feel like I've done something wrong but it's my old employer just being awkward (typical!!)! Sorry I know not ttc related, but stressing me out!!!

Kate, you should seek advice on notice period. I thought it was standard 4weeks unless stated in contract as anymore. That's unfair of your boss.

Beautiful bumps ladies!! I just love pregnancy bumps, can't wait for mine!!
Footy so glad you feel better!
Kate they definitely can't do that unless you signed for 6 months in your contract!!
7dpo, feeling very headachey today but could be all the rushing about as hubby is on Annual Leave and we have a million errands to run. Just had a random bloody nose, so no prizes for guessing what I've been googling for the last 20mins! Need to stay calm, so much dust in the house so most likely that!

Yeah I know. I dont have a contract. Just a job description they gave me nearly three years after I started... And the union was no help either!! Will just have to keep plugging away at it!

I'm sure it will get sorted!!

Lovely bumps ladies, bump envy here too.
ps my ds1 was born March 14 and ds2 March 15.so excited for you guys.

Glad you are feeling better foot and hope oh keeps up the good work.

Hope you can sort something out kate, we would not want you missing out on a new opportunity fx.

tee counting down now. Rooting for your bfp. Nose bleeding fx

Cd5 and managed an early morning conga.

Mimi, do u have boys/or girls ? Can't remember

Cd9

Got a positive opk today. Although I think it would be even darker tomorrow. Temp hasn't dipped yet (usually it does day before ov) so think ovulation could be on sat or Sunday?
So fingers crossed ladies! Away with hubs on sat, sun, & Monday so hoping for lots of baby making!
Will try tonight also.

Looking pretty peak to me Footy! The bottom line is darker than the control line from where I'm standing!

Well done with the early morning Mimi!!

Tee I did think the same but haven't really got any other signs. Usually the old ovaries start talking to each other. They did whilst taking the clomid, and had slight tummy ache but not the usual pains I get. The clomid can cause false opks so I can't really rely on those. Got one opk for each day for the next week, and temping too.

Phew..DH nearly fell asleep, so had to wake him up. Worried he's going to burn out by the weekend.

Jem, how are u? how did your doctors appt go?

Oh yes I forgot about the false positives!! Hopefully DH can keep up until early next week so you're well and truly covered. What's your temp saying this morning? I really wish I wasn't temping. It plummeted down yesterday when I took it first thing 36.21, but then that was slightly earlier than usual, so rolled back over in bed, slept another 30mins, took it again and 36.55. Similar story this morning. Shows the importance of timing and how easy it could be to be misled.
I feel quite AF crampy this morning. Due next Thursday/Friday.

Hi girls good work on all the DTD. I'm day 8 so not much to report. Saw the GP yesterday she said what can I do for you? I cried. She was lovely and referred me for more blood tests and a scan. DH has to do another SA. Then we get referred to the fertility centre at the hospital. Not exactly the dream conception I had in mind but hopefully we are getting somewhere.

Keeping my fx for you all xx

Jem, u may find you will do all these tests and just fall pregnant in the process. I hope it happens for you this month.

tee, my temp 36.38 this morn, so hardly moved from yesterday's temp. Opk positive still and even darker than yesterday's. Yes I find unless I take temp and exactly same time it fluctuates quite a bit. I take it about 5 mins after I wake up at 7. Boys have alarm clock for school so as soon as I hear that I do it! Weekend throws it out a bit.

Kate- did u sort out notice period? What cd you on?

I've noticed that DH is much easily persuaded in the morning than evening time.
I've been wondering today how I will tell people when I am, and what maternity clothes to buy!? Crazy eh. Desperately want it to happen soon!!
Hope everyone else ok! Xx

You will get there eventually jem and glad you are doing something about it. hope there is nothing wrong. Fx

Hope the cramping is a good sign tee.a long week to go fx.

Lots of dtd this weekend foot.hope this is the cycle. Hoping to get dh to bd later. It's been a while since we dtd eod (was getting really tired of it )

Happy Friday everyone

Morning all
Hope everybody's having a nice weekend!
Jem glad the ball is rolling with tests, sounds like you got the same referral as me (although the fertility/assisted conception unit wouldn't accept me without a couple of further tests). Got Doctors tomorrow to review bloods & scan results.
Footy do we think an egg has popped out yet? What are opks & temps saying? Did DH continue to deliver?
Mimi how are you getting on? CD8 is it? Are you doing opks or anything? Hope DH is managing to deliver eod, Does he know you plan to return to the pill if nothing this month? Hope you aren't feeling the pressure too much.
CD23 11dpo
Still feel a bit crampy, but not in a way that's giving me hope, very AFy. Temp still up tho. Don't think I'll continue for the last few mornings. I can't bare it waiting to see the drop. I'm sure the specialist can gleen as much as they need to from temps CD1-CD23?!

Morning!

We are away with no kids! Woo hoo. Had a lovely day yesterday and lovely meal.
Tee my Temp dipped this morning lower than usual so not ov yet. Hoping it will be today/tomorrow. Opk still dark yesterday. Got another one left to do today.
Yes DH been on top form so far. Twice yesterday and this morning. Will be blooming annoying if I don't ov at all as this prob the best cycle so far with everything.
Hope it's not AF feeling. Agree.. Maybe leave the last few temps out. Better to feel hopeful.

Hope everyone else ok and enjoying weekend.

Btw I found a great fertility app - something new to do called kindara. Started inputting data already.

Great news! Let's hope it's today after a dip this morning, as it sounds like lots of swimmers lined up!! Be a shame for them to go to waste!!
Will download that app if no joy this week, something else to keep me occupied for another month, although I'm still hoping I'm the running for that Christmas announcement x

Sounds like a lovely weekend footy and the pressure off TTC a bit by the sounds of it.

Tee can completely sympathise leaving temping aside now, it must be so disheartening to see it drop. Fx it doesn't. What extra tests did the clinic require?

Off to Kew Gardens today with DH for an autumn walk and pub lunch
